Because Zhao Dahai and Liang Yuemin did not arrive together.
After Chen Ling arranged for Zhao Dahai, he also wanted to pick up Liang Yuemin's family.
During the phone call, the two agreed to come together, but things were different with Liang Yuemin.
Now that the braised beef noodles are in hot demand, they simply can’t live without people.
He wanted to come out, but it was really difficult.
Not only do everything have to be arranged, some factories even have to temporarily suspend operations.
Trouble is not just one or two things.
Fortunately, Liang Yuemin is a very enterprising person, and his skills are quite sharp. Although he is very literary, he is actually very ruthless when he should be ruthless. That is called a vigorous and resolute person.
There is one shortcoming. At this stage, his teammates are all too stretched, and no one can stand up to him.
That’s why it’s so hard to go out.
I originally expected that like Zhao Dahai, I would arrive after dark.
Now, it’s estimated that we can’t set off until dark, and we can only get there by water tomorrow morning.
There is no other way, so Chen Ling can only take Zhao Dahai and his gang back first.
Back home, Liang Hongyu and Liang Hongyu also talked about how their son was too busy.
I’ve said it several times, and now that we know so many things, can’t we make arrangements earlier?
It would be great to make arrangements early, come over early to meet everyone, and enjoy the fun with your loved ones.
In the old man's mind, when it came time to seriously entertain guests, Chen Ling couldn't care less.
I can’t just have a few people in my family and reminisce happily together.
This is true.
Every family is like this when doing things. Relatives who are closer to each other always arrive early. Before arranging anything to do, they first catch up with old times and talk about the current situation...
Doesn't this make you look closer?
It’s a pity that after looking forward to it for so long, I couldn’t make it.
How frustrating.
Chen Ling had to comfort him for a while, saying that this year's New Year, Brother Yuemin and the others had to spend it here, and it was only a few days before the New Year.
The two elders were calmed down by good words and bad words.
For Chen Ling, there is actually no difference between one day earlier and one day later. Anyway, he picked up someone today and will pick up someone tomorrow.
Tomorrow Yu Qian, Chen Xiaoer, Professor Feng and others will be coming.
If it were last year and so many people had come all at once, Chen Ling would have felt conflicted and repelled.
It’s not that he doesn’t like excitement, he just doesn’t like it being too lively.
But now, most of the people who came were friends, and they came for his two little kids, so he was very happy.
I have been feeling happy these past few days.
And I want to take out all the good things at home to entertain friends.
That’s a lot of energy.
......
So, early the next morning, when the sky was slightly bright, Chen Ling got up and started killing sheep and cows.
The sheep were those raised by his own family, and Chen Ling chose the half-grown sheep that had just grown from lambs to kill.
This is all good mutton.
As for the cattle, they were also bought from the village. Their heads were hammered down to bleed them, skin them and cut their flesh.
Zhao Dahai and others, as well as Chen Ling's old classmate who worked in the city, all came to help.
Zhao Dahai has become addicted to hammering.
Can't say it's enough.
It means hitting the cow’s head with a big oil hammer and chanting sutras.
Because it is too cruel, I muttered a few words to ask Niu not to blame himself.
Chen Ling’s old classmate, Wang Tao.
He is also a leader in the government. He has seen Chen Ling many times in the news and newspapers.
But after arriving here, I was still a little confused.
I am really confused.
He thought he had overestimated his old classmate Chen Ling as much as possible.
I didn’t expect that after I arrived, my dear, who are these people?
Even friends from Wandao came.
It is said that some big stars from Hong Kong Island have been here before.
No way, in the minds of people these days, Hong Kong Island and Bay Island represent places that are in line with international standards, represent wealth, and represent wealthy people. When you hear it, they feel high-end. It just feels foreign.
So I am a very clever person, and I want to help when I get up so early.
But as soon as I came out, I was so confused that I didn’t know what to do, and I felt at a loss.
Come on, it’s not very easy to get a word in.
Later, Wang Cunye came over and said a few words before he calmed down.
It doesn’t take long for Chen Ling to kill sheep and cows.
It mainly takes a little time to peel and cut the flesh.
I killed four and a half sheep, one ox, and several large pots of meat in one morning.
Chen Ling didn't even have time to take care of him after the killing, so he hurriedly got in the car and went directly to Tenghe Township to pick up the people.
The first ones to come were indeed Liang Yuemin's family.
As Chen Ling expected, they came overnight.
Before the boat even docked, from far away, Little Fatty and Little Lizi called "Uncle" and jumped up and down to say hello to him.
The two children missed Chen Ling so much.
I have to talk to him for two hours on the phone.
In normal times, they kept all Chen Ling's newspapers.
I admire him extremely.
Chen Ling also liked the two children very much. He let them sit on his shoulders and carried them for a long distance along the river bank.
When Yu Qian and others arrived one after another, he put them down and rushed to the village.
In this era, there are still many people traveling at night.
For no other reason than to be able to sleep at night, I arrive at the station as soon as I close my eyes and open them.
Otherwise, in this era with such backward traffic conditions, rushing on the road would be really a terrible thing.
Especially in the mountains, no one dares to drive a car.
The road is too difficult to walk.
Although taking the water route is easier, it takes longer.
Walking continuously for more than twelve hours, going around in circles, can be annoying to death during the day.
Although people these days will have more patience in this regard than people in later generations.
But no matter what, that kind of suffering cannot be faked.
So Yu Qian and others also chose the water route with tacit understanding.
This saves Chen Ling's troubles.
He got up at six o'clock, went out at seven o'clock, and picked up everyone. It was already past nine o'clock.
It’s past nine o’clock. In this winter, it can barely be considered morning.
When we arrived at home, the big pot of mutton had been cooked. Everyone drank a bowl of hot mutton soup to warm themselves up. After saying hello to acquaintances and Chen Ling's own family, he continued to be busy.
After killing the cattle and sheep, you have to kill the pigs. After killing the pigs, you have to kill the chickens and ducks.
In addition to poultry and livestock, game is also indispensable.
Pheasant, hare, muntjac, deer, wild boar, bamboo rat, squirrel.
It can be said that it has everything. Close to the mountains, you can eat whatever you want.
There are prey caught by Chen Ling himself, as well as contributions from the young boys in the village.
More contributions were made by the group of young men in the countryside and the hunters from the Yangtou Valley.
Chen Ling helped them hunt wolves. They felt that their previous intentions were not fulfilled, so they sent a lot more of the prey they had recently killed. They felt that this was what they should do.
Packaging these meat ingredients also takes a lot of time.
After all, Professor Han sent me the recipe.
Chen Ling still wants to make some dishes by herself tomorrow.
Even if you don’t cook it yourself, you should say hello to tomorrow’s cook and share how to make these dishes.
In addition to busy work...
My relatives and friends from Fenglei Town also arrived at noon.
I won’t say much more about the two sons of my eldest uncle and second uncle.
The two of them came to help and immediately started to work with them.
Other relatives were looking here and there, but they had never seen such a big scene.
I haven’t seen many strange things in the farm.
As evening approached, Lao Zhou and Ding Haidong finally arrived.
At this time, people finally arrived.
The Chen Ling family’s 100-day banquet for the two little kids also started in such busyness.
Happy events related to children are not like weddings where firecrackers go off and loudspeakers blare.
But the joy on the faces of the Chenwangzhuang villagers was nothing short of remarkable.
It was as if they were holding a happy event for their own family.
One by one, we invited friends from the city to toast and chat.
It wasn’t just about things related to Chen Ling, it was about everything from Chen Wangzhuang’s local area, from the mountains, all kinds of legends, gossip and anecdotes.
Among them are old antiques like Grandpa Four.
I know the story of the bandit wars before and after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
What famine, what hunters, carpenters.
Know more than anyone else.
Also Chen Guoxing is also an educated person. Since Wang Laifu's death, he has become less autistic.
When it comes to talking with others, he is no worse than Fourth Grandpa.
What I keep saying is that I have no feelings for this land...
The atmosphere of scar literature is almost overwhelming.
At first, the relatives in Fenglei Town were shocked by the ability of Wang Cunye, his son-in-law.
I feel like the guests here are too fashionable.
As everyone knows, these guests were also shocked. They never imagined that there was a crouching tiger, hidden dragon in the village.
Good guy, the education level of the people here is not only high, but when they talk about it, it feels like their conversation skills are even better than those of several professors and university teachers.
I heard again about Wang Laifu’s story.
Suddenly I felt sad again.
Many people actually lamented again, saying that since ancient times, many such talented people have ended up miserable.
In short, this scene was more lively and harmonious than Chen Ling imagined.
When the running water banquet is laid out...
A variety of mountain delicacies, mountain and wild flavor, Republic of China flavor, plus the hard dishes of rural banquets.
Finally, these people didn't care to talk so much anymore, and sat down to devour everything.
After that, Chen Ling toasted a round of wine and almost visited the whole village.
“You are proud of being rich and having children.”
"I'm telling you, you kid, you have to submit your manuscript next year. When I came here, those old friends were so crazy about me."
"What? No, Uncle Feng, it's not like this today You want to remind me of the manuscript? "Did you make a mistake?"
When the toasts came to the table of professors, Feng Yi, the moustache, started to urge the manuscript without even opening his mouth.
Chen Ling was suddenly stunned and shocked.
Zhao Yubao and others laughed when they saw this.
After laughing, he let him leave: "Okay, okay, let him go today... If you want me to say that this lazy boy is not worth paying attention to, from now on, I will grab Ruirui and the two little ones to work hard, and train the three of them well." A small one. "
"... Fugui, my old classmate is here. I don't recognize you anymore. I haven't seen you for a few years, but you are really promising."
"Yes, yes. Ah, letters are written in traditional Chinese now, which scares me."
"Hahahaha, this makes me laugh to death..."
"The last time I saw you, I was in high school. Now, I’m so happy to attend your baby’s 100-day banquet today.”
"Come on, come on, have a drink, we will get together often in the future."
"Thank you Hongbo, without Hongbo, we still can't contact you."
"Okay, okay, I'll follow you Hong Bo has a drink.”
After catching up with old classmates, finish the drink.
I came to drink with my fellow villagers again.
On a happy day, the villagers sat almost from the beginning of the village to the end of the village. This was really more lively than the Chinese New Year.
There has never been such a big scene in the village.
There has never been such a big banquet.
So every face of the villagers is bright.
Chen Ling also feels that today is the happiest day for him in a while. He has unlimited food today, and everyone can sit down and eat.
After going around in circles, the whole village toasted with wine, and everyone was welcome to drink.
He doesn’t care about elders or juniors, and no one will discuss this with him today.
Seeing that he was happy, he went to drink happily.
Man, why are you talking about so many rules?
Rural men don’t know how to say blessings. They only say a few words to reflect on what their children will look like when they grow up.
Even so, Chen Ling felt extremely comfortable when he heard it.
I accidentally drank too much.
......
"Fugui must have drunk too much. Come and take pictures while you are still drunk!"
As soon as he finished the toast and went back, Chen Ling returned the favor. Before the food was eaten, Liang Hongyu grabbed his arm and walked home with a smile on her face.
Walking into the farm, Wang Susu and the others were ready and waiting for Chen Ling to come back.
Wang Susu hugged Kangkang, Liu Yin hugged Lele, and Ruirui followed Little Fatty, Little Lizi, and Yaya, eating meat next to them.
Liang Yuemin and Zhao Dahai were still greeting the guests, their faces flushed from drinking.
Everyone was smiling. When they saw Chen Ling coming, they stood up and waved for him to come over: "Come on, come on, it's just you, take pictures, take pictures."
"Uncle, uncle, After I finish eating, I want to take a photo with the little white cow.”
"I want it too, I want it too, uncle, I only like the little white cow. I want to sit on the little white cow and play the flute."
"Dad, Heihei, Jinjin and I..."< br>
"Okay, okay."
Chen Ling agreed wholeheartedly, looking at the children in the yard and the smiles of his relatives, he thought: "That's great."
At this moment, when he was drunk and dizzy, he even thought emotionally in his heart, I hope my friends will always be here, and I hope my relatives will never grow old. (End of chapter)
